That was your chance to be like Superman, donning an eye-catching layer of high-contrast fabric to spiff up your supersuit. Now that I think of it, what better way to obfuscate your appearance than to distract viewers from looking at your face by confusing them with your overall wardrobe choices? They’re so busy wondering whether your cape gets stuck in revolving doors, how will they have time to study your cheekbones? But I digress.

June 27th, according to the Plants vs. Zombies 2013 calendar, is Wear Fake Glasses Day. That means today, don’t be Superman. Be Clark Kent.

Who is that masked man?!?

Put on a pair of glasses and disappear into obscurity for a day. Marvel at how even your nearest and dearest wander right past you while calling your name. Ask your best girl out and have a private laugh at how she demurs on the grounds of already having a boyfriend. Years from now, when you tell her about this, you’ll both look back and smile.

Our hero has returned!

For those plodding through the gray wintry days without a Valentine Zombie staring back at you, we’ll let you in on the secret:

It’s Wear Underpants Outside Your Pants Day!

I think it’s especially magical that this holiday falls on a Wednesday this year, because Wednesday is new comic books day. And personally, when I think of someone wearing underpants outside their pants, I don’t merely think, “What a silly sartorial choice,” I think of superheroes. (And white coats and padded rooms, maybe. Just a little. Might depend how well the outfit matches. Our zombie, for instance, looks pretty snazzy.)

This little guy, on the other hand, kind of sad.

So as you walk around today, if you see anyone celebrating this little-known holiday, give them a smile. (Not too inviting a smile — it’s hard to tell a celebrant from a kook who can’t dress himself properly.) And think about superheroes and how you might be one too, deep down inside. And then choose your superhero name and make yourself a superhero ID card. It’s okay, I have one too. No need to be embarrassed.

Then head over to Amazon to pick up a Plants vs. Zombies 2013 wall calendar so you don’t miss out on any more of these special days. You’ll probably kick yourself a little when you see how you already lost a perfect excuse to walk around sounding silly on Fake Accent Day.
